Posted by Robert | December 29, 2009 | Car Accidents

Very good lawyer

My wife and I were in a serious automobile accident. After interviewing 3 other lawyers, we decided on James. While we were impressed with his track record, the most important thing for us was his caring nature. He really seemed to care about our situation. Four months later, we couldn"t believe ...the settlement he got us. It was beyond our greatest expectations. I would recommend him to anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
